The unique thing
about regret
is that the less you experience
the more you get – G.G.

Limitation

I’m taking a bit of a risk,but what if I didn’t…

I’d rather live in the moment than live with regretTake a chance on what I wantand grab all I can get No stop signs No hesitation No blurred lines No limitationI intend to make the mostof this one-time lifeBring the best of it allinto plain sightExhausting each day Exhausted each night

My motivation can be seenin unique placesIn hopeful eyesOn mourning facesTimes of celebrationTimes of dreadTimes to rememberTime, to look ahead

I’d rather look to the future than look back with regretEmbrace all of those who inspire
and give back as I getNo retreat
No reservationNo boundariesNo limitation
I intend to stretch my mindto greater lengthsFlights of fancyand fanciful flightsLifting the best of meto loftier heights

My motivation can be foundin unique placesIn beautiful smilesOn candle lit facesPeople we meetPeople we admirePeople we lovePeople who inspire

I’d rather embrace the possibilitiesthan accept the regretPut myself completely out thereGive more than I getNo misunderstandingNo misinterpretationNo incompletesNo limitationI intend to hold nothing back
in my quest to growExpress my selfto all who should knowTake the best of me alongto wherever I go

Live this life for every momentExperience more, every chance I getTaking risks, and taking stridesStaying ahead of my regret

Midnight says good byeto 2017
Celebrating with friends
while you are awayThis new year brings me to a new dayI have found youand I couldn’t be happierAt the end of the yearthat brought you my way

Alone at 3:00 AM but far from lonelyAccompanied by fresh memories that fill my headWishing you were hereas I go to bedI have you on my mindand in my heartAt the nexus to the yearthat lies ahead

A year removedfrom my miseryTwelve months further from all I could takeSo much to look forward towhen I awakeI have you in my lifeand I can’t get enough

Silence I hear the furnace kick in, on this cool morning.An awakening nudge, from within the silence…my creative silence.

It is then that I notice,gradually notice moreThe nuances of early morningJust outside my doorThe stillness of the lakeThe shadows near the shoreA family of four ducksAnd behind them two moreA peaceful place to begin my dayAlone, with some time to explore

A window to an opened mind.A unique view, from within the silence…my creative silence.

The façade of my introspectionProtective, but paper thinAccessible, in the early morningWithout the voices or the dinAn undisturbed opportunityTo summon, from withinThe chance to visit placesWhere I have seldom beenInsights, subtly perceptibleLike the drop of a pin

The sound of my ideas resonates,clearly audible to me, from within the silence…my creative silence.

Discernable refrains of thoughtEchoing inside my peaceful shellThe intricacies of perceptionFrom the depths of my wellThe complexities of emotionThe conflicts that I must quellLost, and found, in the early morningImmersed in what to tellA place to elevate my opinionsUp from where they fell

I find my positive inspiration,emerging, from within the silence…my creative silence.

The early morning moves meAs the words start to flowDrifting through the shadowsLike the ducks, in a rowLines of innate substanceGaining momentum as they goBuoyant, lucid, more certainShedding inhibitions as they growBrought into the morning lightFrom this tranquil place I know

The quiet of the morning finds me here.Where I can hear myself think…within my creative silence.

Perogies, and perspective New friends, community, drinks The comfort in knowing What the best in us thinks—–

Live music for what ails me, My spirit needing a lift The Black Sheep beckoned My own pre-Christmas gift

‘A Weber Brother’s Christmas’… That had to be good for my soul I was alone, and a few hours early So, it would be fresh air and a stroll

Intending to bide some time,
I curiously opened your door
Just looking for a unique pint
What I found, was far more

At first, it was exactly what I wanted A small crowd, and ‘Perogy Night’!Easing into the Kaffé 1870 atmosphereSomething about it, feeling just right

It didn’t take very long, however The numbers began to grow For live music and a fundraiser More and more locals, I came to know

Kaffé 1870, Wakefield for Refugees
An awaiting host, a timely cause A community coming together Just like that, and just because

Words from the dedicated organizers,
A gregarious councillor, made everyone smile
The people, the closeness, the obvious warmth
My trip, already, well worth its while

It would become hard for me to leave‘Godknowswhat’ was sublime
Extremely accomplished musiciansDonating their talent, and their time

I couldn’t count all of the terrific chats I had found, in just a few hours But, what I will never underestimate Is community, and its obvious powers

Seeing the good in so many people And knowing, when I hear it
Experiencing your generosity And sharing in your spiritA raffle ticket, some Bean Fair coffee, For my table, another round I had donated, but felt like the recipient As I departed, Black Sheep bound

Two Weber hours later After another fantastic show It was time for me to leave But, I didn’t really want to go

Reflecting, smiling again, And thinking, alone in my car About an extremely fortunate family About just how lucky they are
